Out of curiosity, how much did you end up spending in freshers week/ before your loan came in?

I can't remember exactly as it was 2 years ago but I spent everything I had. My mum gave me some money for food as I was in private accommodation, my dad gave me some quids for going out and my nan did etc. I suppose I spent about £50 which isn't much compared to a lot of people. I know I would have spent more if I had had it. I think you just get totally carried away with the novelty of it all during freshers week.
